Screen Shuts off when viewing full screen flash videos - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

The problem is when viewing flash video in full screen from the browser, the screen automatically shuts off after a period of time. This never used to be an issue with ICS. I have tried to take steps to fix the problem however I have been unsuccessful.Does anyone have a solution to this annoying problem? Cheers

Well I didn't had any problems like that, but found flash to be unstable, which is because Adobe stopped mobile flash and jelly bean is unsupported

This happened on my mytouch 4g slide. Its a flash issue. This doesn't happen to me on my gnex I'm using com.adobe.flashplayer-111115012.apk on jelly Bean

Is that the latest version of Flash Player or an older version which has been tweaked to make flash work better?

Did you try different browsers. I have a similar problem when using XScope, the screen goes totally dark when switching to full screen.
This doesn't happen with the default browser.

I'm having this same issue on a galaxy s3 running jelly bean, I didn't have this issue when running ics. Did you ever find a fix?

Problem Watching Flash Videos [JB]

When I watch a flash video on full screen, after a while the screen goes to the CRT off thing and after a second or two the video comes back but it loads very slowly. There is a problem causing the phone to not understand that it may not go standby during a flash video in full screen.

hi,
I'not verry sure but i've read that jellu bean will not support anymoreb the flash technology and will only cares about html5.
As announced by Adobe, Flash support will be withdrawn, it has warned that those already with the JB may have problems with compatibility.
But flash is there so should be able to use it.

I'm not having any issues with ICS. You should only be getting that issue with JellyBean ROMS.

YES!!! I've been saying this for awhile now lol. Don't know how to get rid of it. I've tried to flash with both trwp and cwm6 to no avail. Sad about it :'( my usual go to roms are cm9 and tdjs dark side v8. No more cm9 now.

I know you guys are looking for ways to eliminate flickering on cm9 but the cm10 flickering issue has many different solutions. I am quite sure they can be attempted on cm9 as well. First off though I think you guys should list what you have done to remedy the situation so people just don't inform you of what you already tried.

That's the thing.. its an issue with cm9 itself. I've tried disabling gpu rendering, flashing that useless gpu mod, fully wiping with both trwp and cwm6 touch.. not sure what else I can do.

Interesting... I just flashed cm9 9-30 nightly last night and i don't experience this screen flickering, or at least i'm not noticing it if it's happening.
I'm using sk8's cwm6.0.1.4 and I just followed the instructions on TC's webpage. And I just came from erick's cm10 9-28 nightly. Don't know if this'll help, but that's what I did and I don't see any screen flickering. What's the best way to reproduce this issue? I can try and report back if I see it or not.

Go into your settings, pull your notifications down half way then swipe them back up. The screen should flicker black.

Yup, I'm also seeing a small flicker as well. I couldn't get it reproduced every time, but if I played around with the notification pull down about half way and then swiped them back up, the screen does flicker black.
Is it only from settings that you see this? I tried from my home screen, and I didn't see any flicker.
EDIT: If I go only 1/3 of 1/4 of the way with the pull down in Settings, I can reproduce the flicker every time I believe.

It happens in all apps except the homescreen. For me, it does not matter if you pull it 1/3 or 1/4 or 1/2 or all the way down... the chance of it flickering when you drag it back up is about 20%
edit: I have the 9/30/12 nightly build installed. The flickering is not an issue for me and I use this ROM as my daily driver.
Same here. it appears randomly for me. i see no trend. also at times my data stays on E. but overall i love it.

I'm going to flash the 9/30 nightly with trwp and see what happen. I'm going to try to flash without installing gapps to see if that has any effect.

Try adjusting the build.prop entry below:
debug.mdpcomp.maxlayer=3
change it to ->
debug.mdpcomp.maxlayer=1
....this might or might not fix the flickering issue.

Camera Glitch?

My friend has a Droid Incredible 2, when she launches the camera app she gets multiple colors on the screen. Same result on Sense 3.6 leak and UKB Evolution Sense 4 ROM. Pictures come out just fine and even screenshots, it's just when shes trying to see what shes taking a picture of. Any help would be greatly appreciated,
First question would be what is her root method? Second, has she tried a stock Rom like bonestock?

She used the HTC Unlock method, and the Sense 3.6 was a Bonestock ROM I believe

Did she pull out the boot.img before flashing? Htc unlock has its hiccups and things can't be flashed the same.

Yep, I helped her flash everything so I know it was done right, but with both ROMs is what I don't get. Could it be a hardware issue?
Yeah, maybe the ROM or root isn't sitting right. Have you tried wiping the cache(s) or re-installing/downloading the ROM's? If those aren't the case then try and OEM lock the phone and re-root it again. If that doesn't work, then the camera might be funky.
Gonna see if that works, hopefully it does haha

Is there a settings that is on that is causing this? If not it could be a hardware issue.
I think one way of telling for sure is to get rid of the HTC unlock and fully root to see if it has to do with how the phone is handling the flashing of the ROM's. If it still occurs, then I would guess hardware.
I'm gonna see if running the RUU will the problem. That way I know if its a hardware issue or software

YouTube v5 update - landscape issues

Seems like a samsung problem, just wondering if anyone on xda has been able to find a fix...
with the new youtube update (v5), there is no longer a time bar on landscape so you can fast forward/rewind a video.. and there's also no way to go back to portrait mode since that whole bottom area is missing (have to minimize the video, and then click back in... )
the app has ad 3-4 updates since its release and the problem is still there. been using v4 as the app is pretty unusable at this point. seems to be an issue with all samsung phones. i really love the new design but it's too bad that there's this huge glaring bug.
Are you talking about the mobile app? Because on my s3 it runs flawless and all the buttons work just fine...your issues are odd to say the least

Same Problem
His issue is not odd.This issue happens on all Galaxy devices with 4.1.2 JB android version.So if you have 4.2 or even 4.0 just shut up!

Wish the aosp browser wasn't crap on 4.4. Also wish WiFi autoconnect worked in 4.3. Its really annoying that it randomly stops working until you manually open the WiFi menu. It still occurs even on cm10.2.0

what exactly do you mean wifi auto connect fail? It has been auto connecting for me? do you mean auto connect as in walk home, phone detected wifi signal and automatically turn wifi on and connect? if thats the case then i have no idea as ive never tried to do so.
Anyways.........anyone know a good cm11 kernel? currently i am using stock kernel and maaaan its missing so many functions D:
testing since yesterday, the rom is stable and whitout problems, don't had crash etc, just have a glich when u take a screenshot (in the preview) but the captured immage is fine.
I think the only thing that must be fixed is the browser, some times is choppy, double tap for zoom sometimes don't works and the video preview don't work.
I'm not sure but i have noticed a slight battery drain, more than the 4.3 stock:good:

It doesn't happen in cm10.1 or 10.0. It started happening when google changed the wifi framework in 4.3 to the always on scanning. Even with that setting disabled the scanning is still glitched.

pretty stable nightly
Using CM11 nightly since yesterday. Had no issues except the screenshot preview. Screen shots are gettive saved correctly though. Also a little drop in battery life but maybe cause I am using it more. Is good for daily use.
I have flashed the nightly and there are 2 issues so far.
1. google now does not work
2. Spotify only plays 5 seconds then it goes mute while the playback continues.
I've found another issue: except for whatsapp and SMS I don't get any instant messaging notifications. Fb messenger as well as hangouts don't show anything in the status bar.
Funnily I use hangouts for SMS and it shows SMS...
Can someone confirm that?
Apart from that the only thing that really bugs me, is the glitch when playing music and powering off the screen. I would call it Playback-bug.
I dirtyflashed though. Too lazy to wipe, don't want to lose a lot of the stuff.
If nothing helps, I will wipe...

Ive noticed this a lot lately as well.
My gnex is no longer on any carrier, strictly use on Wi-Fi now, and ever since 4.3 I experience same exact thing as you. (It also seems to randomly forget access points I've saved multiple times for no reason hahaha)
Haven't tried 4.4 to see if it persists yet
